PantryPilot

PantryPilot is a mobile app (with optional web dashboard) that turns your kitchen into a semi-smart system without requiring expensive new appliances. You scan receipts or barcodes, optionally connect grocery accounts, and the app maintains a live pantry/fridge inventory with expiry estimates. It then generates realistic meal suggestions based on what will spoil first, your time available, and your dietary constraints—plus it builds a “minimal top-up” shopping list to complete meals with the fewest extra items. The AI layer is used for parsing messy receipts, matching products to shelf-life models, and producing step-by-step cooking plans that adapt if you’re missing an ingredient. It also nudges you with blunt, practical reminders (“Use spinach today or toss tomorrow”). This is not a fancy recipe app; it’s an inventory + waste-reduction workflow designed for busy households.
